Running back Ahmad Bradshaw left Sunday’s win over the Saints briefly with a left knee injury, but it wasn’t a big of topic of conversation after Bradshaw returned to the game and David Wilson stole all of the attention paid to the Giants backfield with his three touchdowns.

After the game, coach Tom Coughlin said that he thought Bradshaw would be sore but didn’t show much other concern about the injury. Someone must have wanted a bit more confirmation that all is well with Bradshaw, though, because he is having an MRI and other tests on the knee Monday.

“Any time you are talking about a knee, and he’s going through a series of tests, you’re better off to wait and see what the results are,” Coughlin said, via Jenny Vrentas of the Newark Star-Ledger. “I wouldn’t speculate on anything right now.”

Bradshaw’s dealt with a neck injury this season and is an infrequent participant in practice because of long-term foot issues. He wasn’t the only Giant banged up in the game.

Cornerback Prince Amukamara has a strained hamstring that the team will monitor over the course of the week. Amukamara has had a strong season in his second year with the Giants and they’d surely like to have him on the field to deal with Roddy White and Julio Jones in Atlanta in Week 15.

id like to see wilson more involved but we need bradshaw.. hes a spark for our team, he wants to win and hes rly rly good in pickin up the blitz.. hes a smart player and that trumps alot of injury issues he has but wilson obv NEEDS more playing time he is just awesome.. we need both

I think this is a bit different for AB. This knee is a new thing. He hurt it while shaking Vilma out of his cleats early in the game. He seemed to be okay (although hobbled on a few plays), but I hope he’s ready to go SUnday.

I hate Giants fans who think Wilson will rush 25 times for 400 yards or something. WE NEED AB.
